How to Switch Over a Multigroup

Perform this procedure to switch operation of all protection groups in a multigroup to partner clusters in the specified site.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the multigroup is started.

1. From a node of a controller cluster in the target site, assume the root role or assume a role that is assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile.

   For more information about RBAC, see Securing Geographic Edition Software in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition Installation and Configuration Guide .

   ---

   Note -  If you use a role with Geo Management RBAC rights, ensure that the /var/cluster/geo ACLs are correct on each node of both partner clusters. If necessary, assume the root role on the cluster node and set the correct ACLs.

   # chmod A+user:username:rwx:allow /var/cluster/geo

   The /var/cluster/geo directory must have the correct access control lists (ACL) applied for compatibility between the Geo Management RBAC rights profile and data replication software.

2. Switch the multigroup to the partner clusters in the specified site.

   # geomg switchover -s site multigroup

   -s site

   The name of the site that the multigroup is to switch to.

   multigroup

   The name of the multigroup to switch over.

   See the geomg (1M) man page for information about additional options for the switchover subcommand.
